Textures now possible without ISO Hacking! (File Patch v3.5.1, fixes info.pac problem

[Firus]

I'm not sure if this is exactly the right place to ask this, as I know there's a thread about making your own textures, but this thread is far more active than that one.

I'm trying to edit the textures for 75m, and I was just editing Donkey Kong. I tried making it a few 16-bit sprites, but it kept giving me the error that the file size was too big. Thus, I went down to 8-bit, specifically Ridley's sprite from Metroid 1. But it still keeps giving me a file size error. Ridley only has 3 different colors, less than Donkey Kong, I believe, so I don't understand how it's still having a file size error. I even checked and the actual file size is exactly the same as the original.

Any tips?

it could be the program being buggy

CUPASH does that too

 

[Firus]

Do you mean in that one instance or in general? I tried it with absolutely nothing for DK's texture and it did compile, and again with a texture for the flame which also compiled, so the program is at least partially working. Which ultimately confuses me more.

Ok so in my SD card i have a directory, E:/private/wii/app/RSBE/pf/stage/melee

2 questions

1. Do i place brawl files in the /melee or /stage

2. Do .pac's work since the tutorial said .pcs's

Also the name of pictochat, copy pasted, STGPICTCHAT_en

sorry if this was already answered but 206 pages is too much

Hai guys if anyone wants to help me out with textures and other codes send me a pm with your aim or somthing :D

1. All standard stages go in /melee. The only stages that don't are any SSE/Boss textures, which go in /adventure.

2. For regular character textures, you need .pcs files as well as the .pac for any transforming characters (or any characters that transform, as the guide says). However, for character effect textures, non-standard characters (Giga Bowser and Wario Man), stages, items, and so on, you only need the .pac file and there are no .pcs files for them.

To sum up, you can have only .pcs files for regular character textures, but you CANNOT only have .pac files. But for texturing anything else, you only need .pac files.

As for Pictochat, my Pictochat texture is named "STGPICTCHAT.pac" and I don't experience any problems with it, so you don't need to worry about the "_en".

I can't get my smashville texture to work, game always freezes when I pick it. Is there more to the stage than the .pac files?
I have a .pac file for every time on smashville
STGVILLAGE_00.pac to STGVILLAGE_04.pac
anything I'm missing?

 

[Firus]

You aren't missing anything...I would probably say it's something with the texture itself, though I can't be sure.

Which texture are you using?

I believe it's forgotten city

omg thank you im going to test it right now, and also, what is the name for the online training room, "STGONLINETRAINING.pac" or what?

Hm...that's the texture I have, and it works fine, so it can't be your texture. I'm not really sure what it is.

Those are technically just effect textures, but regardless, if you have a .pac file, either name it FitCharacter.pac or FitCharacterMotionEtc.pac, replacing Character with the character's disk name. I've yet to find a foolproof way to know which one an effect is, so I always test the first and then if it doesn't work, try the second.

No problem.

And yes, it's "STGONLINETRAINING.pac".

wasn't there a music file or something? was that needed? maybe that's it...

 

[Xiao-Xiao]

What folder do i put tga files in?

 

[kirbycpok]

No problem.

And yes, it's "STGONLINETRAINING.pac".

Yup, got it to work, my problem was that the folder was "stages" not stage ty for the help

 

[UncleSam]

lol added the .brstm file that came with the file and it still froze
I'm going to use the new file patch code now and see if it works

 

[Andarel]

.tga files are used by CUPASH, not by the game. You can compile a CSS directory from them (common5.pac) with that program.

 

[Xiao-Xiao]

So why do I need a menu or info folder in my sd card...i dont understand this

 

[SymphonicSage12]

menu and then strap is where you put strap menu textures. like where it says "make sure the wrist strap is securely attached"

it goes private/wii/app/rsbe/pf/menu/strap/StrapEn.pac

-----------------------------------------------------------


and then the folder should be called info2, not info.


private/wii/app/rsbe/pf/info2/ is where info.pac goes. info.pac is edited song titles.

 

[Xiao-Xiao]

alright so what the heck do i do with the system folder

 

[Xiao-Xiao]

My directory says menu/common/char_bust_tex

 

[Isoku]

I was wondering how is it possible to make a color see-through in a CSP (ex. Olimar's helmet, aura around individual squirtle, ivysaur, charizard)?

For the Pokemon Trainer portraits, just create a white lining around each Pokemon.

Regarding Olimar, his semi-transparent helmet is really annoying to edit since only perfect magenta (#ff00ff) is recognized as a transparent color by CUPASH.

 

[Princz15]

Same thing happens to me about the smashville texture it always freezes

 

[SuperSmashKing009]

Sorry to bug people here. I'm here to ask where do I put a completed custom stage. Also where do I put the file for textures for stage PARTS.

 

[cookieM0Nster]

put it in private/wii/app/RSBE/st

 

[NintenJoe]

are there any good guides on texture hacking? links pls?

 

[SuperSmashKing009]

put it in private/wii/app/RSBE/st

so basically I make a folder right next to pf right?

So then it is not possible to make something transparent in a CSP?

Okay, I've run into a rather odd problem...I haven't visited My Music in a while, so I can't be entirely sure if it's my most recent addition to my hacks that's caused it or what.

Anyways, most recently I have added a bunch of music hacks into the game, converted by Dantarion's GUI program. In addition, I have filled out a texture on almost every stage and almost every character costume.

I was going through My Music testing out all of the music I added in so far. But when I got to Mushroomy Kingdom, it froze as soon as I tried to scroll down at all. I thought it was one of the songs I started to play that did it, but it ended up working when I tried it without scrolling down.

So, basically, I can't view the last two 1-2 songs. Anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

 

[SymphonicSage12]

Probably just too many hacks. :|

 

[Firus]

I don't see how too many hacks would cause such a specific problem, though...

If it happened with scrolling in My Music at all, I would say that makes sense, but...not for just one stage.

Plus, I would imagine there are people that have hacked their game more than I have.

I should also note that when it freezes, it doesn't beep like it usually does. It just stops doing anything at all, and the Wii won't turn off without the power button being held down.

EDIT: Uh...okay, it turns out that it freezes no matter if I have codes on or not. This is...not good.

 

[Teh Future]

where do I put the code manager?

How do I set up .gct from there?

 

[cookieM0Nster]

so basically I make a folder right next to pf right?

thats where u put completed custom stages. for custom stage textures, put them in private/wii/app/RSBE/pf/Stage/Melee.

 

[Hobobloke]

Is there any progress being made with music for PAL brawl?

 

[Mumble]

Do you have to have in game battle portraits for the ones on the character select screen to work properly?
:O

no, you don't

 

[Robdude123]

this just wont work for me

 

[smakis]

is it possible to add things only to lucas back? i only find one side in the textures, so i guess its mirrored to both sides?

 

[Firus]

No, it isn't; you're right, it's mirrored to both sides.
